A/N: And here's the second chapter of my story… it's the summer based on the boys, rather than the girls, who were in the first chapter. Everyone wants to know what the boys did for summer! LOL
My GOD Sirius reminds me of Stephanie in this chapter! And in chapters to come… I swear this is the relationship me and my friends have… Sirius and Suzuki are like Stephanie… Erin is like me, and then so on and so forth… none of us are like Peter though. Me, Stephanie and Jane are the strangest though… Oo

Chapter II – Summer Pt.II
~*~*~
"Ack!" the raven-haired boy, James, grunted as he hit the ground; having the wind knocked out of him. His glasses had been knocked off. "Padfoot! Get off!"
"But I don't want to," Sirius said, sitting on James's back.
"But you're heavy!"
"I'm not that heavy, James-ie! I'm not fat. Not like Wormtail," Sirius said, although did get off of James, acting like he had been offended. James got up and brushed off his front, looking towards Sirius as he fixed his glasses. "Besides, you are the one that invited me to stay this summer."
"Can't you go bother Moony? He's here too, and so is Wormtail!" James said. Remus was still sound asleep on the living room floor, which was the room everyone was currently in. Peter was on the couch; his face was beet-red at having Sirius say that he was fat. James pushed up his glasses as he looked at Sirius, who gave him a look.
"But I don't want to bother them! You don't understand!" Sirius said, flailing his arms in the air.
"Stop flailing!" James said, grabbing Sirius's wrists. "No flailing Padfoot… you can get your point across without that."
"I can now, can I?"
"Um…" but before James could answer, Sirius interrupted.
"Huh? Can I? Or can't I? Or maybe I should just shut up, who knows the answer to these questions! Nobody!" Sirius let himself fall back onto his back on the floor. "Ow."
James backed away from Sirius slightly. "Well then…"
"Can I have a cookie?" Sirius asked.
"How about after you wake up Moony for us?" James said. "And don't forget to do it in a hilariously hilarious way."
Sirius nodded vigorously, and then leapt high into the air, turning into a dog as he did so he landed on Remus's back, large forepaws on Remus's shoulder blades. He barked rather loudly as well, and Remus jumped into a sitting up position, Sirius falling onto his back, tail wagging. Remus glared at him.
"I'm going to have huge marks on my shoulders and stomach now Padfoot," Remus said. "You can't jump on people like that; you might kill them."
Sirius whined, ears dropping and tail stopped moving, he just looked pathetic. Remus rolled his eyes, getting up, he got some clothes out of his trunk and walked to the bathroom to change and have a shower.
Sirius turned into himself again, still lying on his back. "So, got any plans for Snivillus this year?" he asked, tilting his head at James.
"I was thinking of making his hair flash neon colours," James said. "Might make him look better. But I doubt it. Or we could make the grease in his hair stand out more."
"Hey, those are good ideas!" Sirius said. "Ooh, but aren't you trying to catch the eye of Little Lady Lily? Won't do it picking on Snape, you already know that."
James blushed heavily. "Padfoot! I'm not trying to get her attention or anything! All right? All right." He crossed his arms.
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Ah, but James-ie, if only! You're all starry-eyed around her… and you keep looking at her every time a teacher starts to pair the class off…" Sirius shut up when a pillow hit his face, erupting into a shower of feathers. He spat some feathers out of his mouth. "Fine. Be that way."
James rolled his eyes, going off to the bathroom to have a shower of his own when Remus came out.
~*~*~
After long hours of having Sirius harass him about Lily; James finally stopped packing his trunk and looked at Sirius. Well, more so glared than looked.
Sirius stopped ranting and grinned, hands behind his back. "So, you plan to ask her out this year?"
James didn't answer, but turned back to packing his trunk and making sure he had everything; including his owl. They would be leaving in the morning for the train station, early, so that James and the Marauders could get a compartment to themselves. The year before they had to share a compartment with Severus.
"Ooh come on Prongs, you can't deny, she is one foxy girl," Sirius said. "So are Erin and Suzuki. All three of them are. And two of them are from Gryffindor; the other one is a bad ass sexy Slytherin bitch." (Sorry Steph, that's been Siri's nickname for Erin for a long time… he'll come up with one for you/Suzuki XP)
"Maybe you think that; but I don't. I mean, Erin and Suzuki are very attractive girls, and they're good friends with us as well," James said. "But Evans?"
"What's wrong with Lily?"
"She's got red hair and green eyes. She's Christmas colours damnit!" James said.
Sirius shook his head. "Nothing wrong with that James; she still looks good. It suits her personality; cheerful and giving, just like Christmas. Besides, she's tormented enough by Snape."
"But she stands up for Snape too!"
"True… but…" Sirius didn't get a chance to finish, because James ushered him out of the room quickly, so that he would not be able to continue. After Sirius was out, James shut his bedroom door. Remus looked up from the bottom of the stairs; he had been helping Peter put his trunk by the front door.
"Did he kick you out?" Remus asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Sirius said. "Yeah, obviously! I mean, it's obvious that he just adores Lily, but he won't tell her and he won't even try to ask her out!"
"Padfoot, you have to remember something though," Peter said.
"What would you know about this Wormtail?" Sirius asked, glaring.
"Actually Padfoot, you should probably listen to Wormtail on this, it's something that all three of us; me, Prongs and Wormtail, ooh, and Erin have been meaning to talk to you about," Remus said, as he went to get his trunk.
"Prongs isn't like you Padfoot," Peter said. "Sure he likes to pull pranks and is like a brother to you; but he's not as open to girls as you are… you're, well, a player really."
"I am not!"
"You are," Remus said as he put his trunk by the door.
"How so?"
"Well, for one, you've never stayed with a girl longer than a week; and you've always been the one to break up with them," Remus said, turning to Sirius.
Sirius opened his mouth to speak, but then shut it again, silent. Remus and Peter had a point; and Erin and James, like Remus had said, knew it as well. He couldn't really doubt it since it was true now that he really thought about it.
He frown, stuffing his hands in his pockets he sat down on the stairs. Remus and Peter watched him.
"You guys are right," Sirius said. "But I can't help it, it's just a habit now…"
"We know Sirius; but it should stop. If you actually gave the girls a chance, maybe you'd find someone you love," Remus said.
"At this young age I'd doubt it," Peter said.
"No, it's possible," Remus said.
"No it's not. There's no such thing as love. It's just another feeling," Sirius said. "Moony is just a hopeless romantic; he believes in that sort of thing. I don't."
Remus sighed, looking slightly hurt. James came down soon with his own trunk to add it to the pile of trunks by the door. He looked around at his friends, wondering what it was that could be bothering Sirius.
~*~*~
The next morning; the group of young boys got up nice and early, and had to wake up James's mother, who would be the one driving them to the station. After waking her up and eating breakfast, they loaded the trunks and themselves into the car.
James's mother then drove them to the station, letting them out of the car after saying her goodbyes to all of them, giving all of them hugs and James a kiss on the forehead, of which he stuck his tongue out at, and then headed into the train station with his friends.
